[Design and Technology] Criteria 6-9

[Trevor Tippett]

Hi Dean

I have been keeping up with the comments about assessing Year 12 Criteria 6
, 7 & 8 Practical work
To create a level playing field my students, are doing 3 task to
achieve this
1/  3D virtual model in tinkercad or other CAD
2/ Detailed scale prototype model using foam core, cardboard or  balsa
3/ Detailed production log , work completed remote

Semester 1 I had my year 9 & 10 student complete task 1 & 2  with some
positive feedback
Looking at the criteria i believe this is one way to achieve criteria 6 to
8  as the material or size of product is not specified in the SAT
The other plus students engage well as it is practical in nature
